Aloha From Honolulu!
Today's a new day.
It's your day.
You shape it.
Don't let it be shaped by
someone else's
ignorance or fear.
Steve Maraboli
Honolulu, 5 December, 2024
It cost nothing
to wish others well.
Even at a distance,
you are
the one who
benefits most
after all.

The next message
you need is always
right where you are.
Ram Dass
It is how people respond
to stress that determines
whether they will profit from
misfortune or be miserable.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
When something finds you,
pause and see,
Whispers the universe:
"meant to be."
A creature, a moment,
Idea gleaming true,
In all of these
there's meaning for you.
Small is grand
And grand is small
The wisdom of life
Moves through it all.

Love You,

Once we embrace
What unites us as one
Renewing our kinship
A new journey's begun.
Each seed that we plant
in the soil of our days,
Cultivates peace in
innumerable
ways.
Your words are so soothing in deed

DeleteI am amused by the senior skateboarder. He looks like he may have just inhaled a puff of something.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he couldn't get up. Andrew! Aloha
DeletePixie is looking grandly small today! What is going on in that last picture with someone dressed like an ancient Chinese official? Did the Jade Emperor's court come down to Hawaii on vacation?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely quotes and photos again Cloudia. I love your words on life's wisdom.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Chinese mask. I like it as they are usually very scary looking.
Have a great weekend,

For once I disagree with one of your quotes! Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says profit by misfortune depending on how one reacts to stress...and I would say there are lots of positives that aren't quite profit that can occur.
ReplyDeleteI always read your posts a few times, Cloudia. Thanks. ;-)
